Fields -- Crops - Sweet potatoes : Prices

A visitor to Accomac this week from Baltimore says, he is paying from 30 to 40 cents a peck for every sweet potato used by him. Selling as they are at home for 25 cents a barrel, this looks as if some one is getting a nice profit out of them, and does not look like the supply is greater than the demand. The low prices at which the farmer is selling his crop is due surely to bad management somewhere.
